Back in the day, when hunting was the major source of food, hunters often used stalking horses as a means of sneaking up on their quarry. They would walk on the opposite side of the horse until they were close enough to place a good shot on whatever they were hunting. A stalking horse not only concealed them but also, if their target was an armed man and they were discovered, would take the first shot. That’s what blacks are to liberals and progressives in their efforts to transform America — stalking horses.

Let’s look at some of the ways white liberals use black people. One of the more obvious ways is for liberals to equate any kind of injustices suffered by homosexuals and women to the black struggle for civil rights. But it is just plain nonsense to suggest any kind of equivalency between the problems of homosexuals and women and the centuries of slavery followed by Jim Crow, lynching, systematic racial discrimination and the blood, sweat and tears of the black civil rights movement.

The largest and most powerful labor union in the country is the National Education Association, with well over 3 million members. Teachers benefit enormously from their education monopoly. It yields higher pay and lower accountability. It’s a different story for a large percentage of black people who receive fraudulent education. The NEA’s white liberals — aided by black teachers, politicians and so-called black leaders — cooperate to ensure that black parents who want their children to have a better education have few viable choices.

Whenever there has been a serious push for school choice, educational vouchers, tuition tax credits or even charter schools, the NEA has fought against it. One of the more callous examples of that disregard for black education was New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s cutback on funding for charter schools where black youngsters were succeeding in getting a better education. That was de Blasio’s way of paying back New York’s teachers union for the political support it gave him in his quest for the mayor’s office.

White liberals in the media and academia, along with many blacks, have been major supporters of the recent marches protesting police conduct. A man from Mars, knowing nothing about homicide facts, would conclude that the major problem black Americans have with murder and brutality results from the behavior of racist policemen. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, there are about 200 police arrest-related deaths of blacks each year (between 300 and 400 for whites). That number pales in comparison with the roughly 7,000 annual murders of blacks, 94 percent of which are committed by blacks. The number of blacks being murdered by other blacks is of little concern to liberals. Their agenda is to use arrest-related deaths of blacks to undermine established authority.

Liberals often have demeaning attitudes toward blacks. When Secretary of State John Kerry was a U.S. senator, in a statement about so many blacks being in prison, he said, “That’s unacceptable, but it’s not their fault.” Would Kerry also say that white prison inmates are also faultless? Johns Hopkins University sociologist Andrew Cherlin told us: “It has yet to be shown that the absence of a father was directly responsible for any of the supposed deficiencies of broken homes. … (The problem) is not the lack of male presence but the lack of male income.” The liberal vision is that fathers and husbands can be replaced by a welfare check.

Liberals desperately need blacks. If the Democratic Party lost just 30 percent of the black vote, it would mean the end of the liberal agenda. That means blacks must be kept in a perpetual state of grievance in order to keep them as a one-party people in a two-party system. When black Americans finally realize how much liberals have used them, I’m betting they will be the nation’s most conservative people. Who else has been harmed as much by liberalism’s vision and agenda?

Kim Davis, a Christian clerk has been sent to jail (yep jail) for her failure to comply with the law that allows same-sex couples to marry! Her refusal to put her name on the license granting a couple legal authority to wed has landed her in the slammer!

Didn’t we see this coming to America?

Jesus speaking of the last days warned his disciples, saying “But before all these things they will lay hands on you and they shall persecute you and they shall deliver you to councils and prisons, and they shall bring you before Kings and Governors because of my name.

For the first time in the United States, the words of Jesus (at least in this matter), has come to pass.

Christians have been taken to court and huge fines imposed – but no Christian, until today, had gone to prison.

Yes, this clerk failed to obey the law. But even those who brought suit against her asked the judge not to jail, but rather to fine her until she obeyed the law.

What are the implications?

There are three:

1) The end of days is closer than we think. Christians must straighten up, look up, for our redemption draws nigh (Luke 21:28).

This is not the time for God’s people to hold their heads down and become bowed with the persecution and trials we are to face. It is a time to rejoice, focus on our returning Lord, preach the gospel of the Kingdom, and rejoice!

2) All will feel the punishment.

The punishment that was meted out to this individual clerk was also meted out to all freedom loving people.

All of America will feel the loss of freedom in this action taken today.

When one freedom is removed (freedom of religion), the others are sure to follow.

Americans have not been paying attention. First Amendment freedoms are first because they are the most important to a free people.

When we can’t write what we believe, can’t speak what we believe, can’t gather together to demonstrate what we believe…then we can’t act on what we believe.

Men (and women) who can’t act are not free!

In this, we are all equally oppressed and equally suppressed. Yeah for equality!

3) The real division will manifest.

I can’t help but recall the words of Christ as recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Mt 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Mt 10:36 And a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own household.

Lu 12:53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Do you see it now?

I don’t know about you, but I know people like her. They are in my family. They are my friends. They are people I work with. They are my neighbors.

They are people who feel so passionately about something that they refuse to back away from [it]. Whatever the ‘it’ happens to be.

Do you have anything you hold that closely to yourself? Something you absolutely will not compromise on, for anyone, at anytime?

We’ve seen people murdered in cold blood for that kind of belief. We’ve seen people kill them for having such deeply held beliefs.

So I ask a question, when they come for your mother, who refuses to comply, will you turn her over? Gleefully celebrate her incarceration?

What relative, friend, co-worker, or neighbor are you willing to turn over to the authorities because ‘they won’t comply’?

Let me make this clear. I am not defending Kim Davis. I think she handled this badly. What I am defending so fiercely is freedom!

In May 2012, North Carolina voters, by a margin of 61% to 39% voted to amend its constitution, banning same-sex marriage in the state.

Three years later, if a referendum vote were held today, according to this poll, two-thirds of N.C. voters still support the traditional view of marriage.

“Sixty-four percent of voters supported the clause in the North Carolina Constitution that defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. Sixty-three percent of respondents said they think officials who object to same-sex marriage on religious grounds should not be compelled to perform same-sex marriages.”

On the question “Do you support the State Constitution, which defines marriage as between one man and one woman,” nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of all participants responded affirmatively. Additionally:

Overall support mirrored the rates among men and women individually.

All age groups other than 18-25 year olds expressed support of at least 57 percent with 71 percent of those 66 and older supporting the Constitution.

Black North Carolinians expressed the strongest support for traditional marriage at 67 percent, followed closely by 63 percent of white North Carolinians.

A majority of all political affiliations also support the constitutional definition of marriage—82 percent of Republicans, 56 percent of Independents, and 55 percent of Democrats.

On the religious freedom question, 63 percent of North Carolinians disagree with “state government court officials, such as register of deeds, who oppose same sex marriage on religious grounds, [being] compelled to perform and certify same sex marriages, even if it clearly violates an individual’s religious convictions,” Additionally:

Among men and women separately, more than 6 in 10 (64 percent of men and 61 percent of women) support religious exemptions for government officials.

More than three-fourths (77 percent) of 18-25 year olds support such religious liberty exemptions. At least 54 percent of all age groups disagreed with compulsory participation in same sex marriages.

Again, black North Carolinians expressed the highest levels of support for religious liberty (66 percent), followed closely by 62 percent of both white and other race North Carolinians.

All political affiliations disagree with forcing government officials to participate in same sex marriages, with 76 percent of Republicans clocking in at the highest rate.

Although North Carolina is only one state out of fifty within the U.S., these poll results are supported by other data which shows that Black Americans continue to resist same-sex marriage at higher levels than other demographic groups.

A Pew Research study in May of this year shows that “African Americans have become more supportive of same-sex marriage over the last decade. However, overall views are mixed: 51% of blacks oppose gays and lesbians marrying legally, while 41% are in favor. Majorities of whites (59%) and Hispanics (56%) now favor same-sex marriage. The racial differences in these opinions largely persist even when taking into account other factors, such as age, religious affiliation and attendance at religious services.”

Religion weighs heavily in the continued opposition to same-sex marriage among all demographics, but is particularly strong among Blacks.

Faith

83% of Blacks describe themselves as Christian, and nearly half (41%) attend church at least once a week

91% trust God to take care of things

70% of women believe that faith in God is more likely to help them recover from a serious illness (59% among men)

One in ten say they have no religion or that they are atheists or agnostic

Black Solidarity

71% think it’s important “to stick together to achieve gains for the community”

Six in 10 believe that, with very few exceptions, problems in the Black community can be solved by Blacks themselves

Like this:

“I sometimes get the feeling that blacks who subscribe to the conservative agenda do so out of a sort of self-hate. Not that they actually hate themselves, but they dislike being including with a group of people who are treated the way black people in the USA are treated, and it is easier and sometimes even lucrative to voice opposition to people who look like you and I. Maybe self-dislike is a better word than self-hate. ”

Historically, movement for equality among Blacks has come about as a result of Blacks who didn’t ‘tow the line’ and accept the status quo.

The great abolitionist Harriet Tubman said, “I freed a lot of slaves. I could have freed a lot more if they had known they were slaves”.

Another great abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass said,
“Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them.”

Black Democrats have chosen to remain with a regime that placed them where they are from the beginning. It is the regime that placed them in a place of subservience, dependency, and indignity. What they did through slavery and Jim Crow has continued through to modern day and remains a place of subservience, dependency and indignity.

Today, Black Democrats continue to beg for the crumbs from the master’s table; continue to except what the masters tell them is injustice and wrong — and still they march. Slaves who fail to recognize that they are still slaves.

I am absolutely sure that Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass argued with those who looked like them. ‘Come, let us go to freedom. Come!’ I am equally sure they didn’t argue with them because they hated being associated with slaves like them.

And look at how white Liberals/Democrats/Progressives howl to keep you there! They crawl with you into your hole of misery and neither you or they have the where-with-all to get out.

Black Conservatives are telling you that THIS ain’t good enough. THIS is crumbs from the masters’ table. THIS doesn’t move you out or up – it keeps you IN!

Black Conservatives are telling you to stop listening to their lies that tell you that you cannot be a man who is able to feed his own family, stay married and be sexually moral, pursue his own education, build his own business and housing, and keep his own neighborhood free from crime.

Black conservatives are not telling you to forget that you are black, but rather reject those who would tell you your skin color is a hindrance to overcome.

I, as a Black conservative am not telling you this because I think I’m better than you – I’m telling you this because I know you’re better than what the white/liberal/progressives think and say you are.

Unless the crumbs you are begging for come from the true Master’s table, you will always be hungry — always!
